Get files after cloning a repo that uses Box LFS

Source: R/clone-repo.R
clone_repo_blfs.Rd

If you want to clone a Github repository that uses Box LFS, you'll need to manually download the tracked files from Box so you have them in your repository. This code will prompt you to download the Box files, then place them in the correct files in your repository using the .boxtracker files.

Usage

clone_repo_blfs(dir = NULL, download = NULL, boxdrive = TRUE)

Arguments

dir

the file path to the file directory

download

the file path to the download directory (if NULL will default to the Box Drive path)

boxdrive

logical, should Box drive be used?

Value

Prompts user to download the files from Box and then places them in the correct location in the dir folder

Examples

 #create temp dir to modify files cleanly
  tmp <- blfs:::create_test_repo(box_lfs=TRUE, examples = FALSE,
  source_dir = system.file("extdata", package = "blfs"))

  box_tmp <- blfs:::create_test_boxdrive(source_dir = system.file("extdata", package = "blfs"))

  #put in new file path to "box"
   blfs:::add_box_loc(box_tmp, dir=tmp, type="path")

  clone_repo_blfs(dir=tmp, download=box_tmp)
#> ℹ Copying files from Box to the correct file locations...
#> ℹ No large files were found to move to repository.

  #remove temp dirs
  unlink(box_tmp, recursive = TRUE)
  unlink(tmp, recursive = TRUE)
